Asset Share Commons vs Content Hub: Which Asset Distribution Solution Fits Your Needs?  by Aanchal Sikka Overview AEM Assets enables organizations to centrally manage, organize, and distribute brand assets like images, videos, and documents. But when it comes to sharing these assets with broader teams, partners, or external users, how do you choose between the two leading AEM asset distribution portals—Asset Share Commons and Content Hub?This blog explores the differences between the two https://techrevel.blog/2025/10/25/asset-share-commons-vs-content-hub-which-asset-distribution-solution-in-aem-fits-your-needs/ Q&A Please use this thread to ask questions relating to this article

Hi everyone, I have a weird issue in AEM 6.5.21 with the Asset References where for each item, if it was referenced more than 10 times, the references tab will show not more than 10 items. I have checked the indexes and the results provide, for one example, 12 results, while the UI in the AEM gives 10 results. The same applies to the Classic UI references, always max. of 10 items are shown. In the UI, I can see that the results are fetched from /bin/wcm/references (Classic UI) or from /mnt/overlay/dam/gui/content/assets/jcr:content/rails/references/items/references.provider.html (Touch UI), but I wasn't able to find any limitation/restrictions to max. 10 items. Here are some screenshots: You can see that in the CRX query and in the query explanation, I can see 12 results, while the UI gives 10. While doing a move operation, I see all the references, all 12 of them, but in the UI it's max. 10. This is confusing for the content authors sometimes, so I'd

Hello,I'm developing a client library named image.editor and including it in the extraClientlibs list for page properties and component.This client library uses the dialog-loaded event to retrieve image alternative text from DAM assets. The implementation works correctly when:1. Editing a component dialog.2. Editing page properties of an existing page. However, it fails to load and execute when creating a new page.I've observed that the clientlib .js file is not loaded during the new page creation process, whereas it loads successfully when editing an existing page. The extraClientlibs list on the page includes:cq.common.wcmcore.wcm.components.page.v3.editorcq.wcm.msm.propertiesgranite.contexthub.configurationcq.siteadmin.admin.propertiescore.wcm.components.image.v3.editorimage.editor Is there something I might be missing, or is it generally not recommended to include a custom clientlib like this in the page's extraClientlibs for dialog functionality? Any sugge

Hi all, I have implemented Sling Content Distribution (of type Sync Distribution) to sync nodes from one publisher to another publisher. I am using a custom trigger based on ResourceChangeListener, only looking for added events under the path /home/users/IDCS. Use case being i am only trying to sync new created users as i have enabled encapsulation token support and want to ensure newly created users are synced across publishers. I am able to sync the top level user nodes ( like /home/users/IDCS/ymk6sYtFij-x_-UkAyF_) across the publishers, How can i sync the group this user is part of in Publisher A to Publisher B, what nodes do i have to send to another publisher so the permissions are also synced?Below is the code to trigger an event to the sync Agent that i have configured called  "simple-agent". package com.abc.test.core.services.impl;import java.util.HashMap;import java.util.List;import java.util.Map;import org.apache.sling.api.resource.LoginException;impo

Hi, I am helping a client with their content in AEM ... and recently  watched a demo of how to set up translation from AEM (an API integration in place now in order to connect to machine and human translations). Can yo please help clarify if and how i can limot what is pushed for translation machione or human etc. via variables or filtering to only translate new or added contect strings and avoid pushing all available strings each time.@174873 Thanks in advance for a swift reply! Vänliga hälsningar/Kind regardsSofia Johansson

Hi, We have a business requirement to log in JOSN format.we have integrated with Elastic APM, and also configured fleet to view error.log and custom logs, but log format in error.log logs don't really match the Elastic Common Schema, hence we are trying to generate logs in JSON format. As anyone used this JSON Event Logger for the above requirement.Thanks

Hello AEM Community,I'm working on a component dialog in AEM where a dropdown drives visibility of field containers using a custom JS-based show/hide logic that supports multiple values per target. Goal / Functionality:A select dropdown has 4 options: Images, Articles, Posts, and VideosImages, Articles, and Posts share a common image upload fieldVideos shows a separate video path and poster fieldBoth single and multifield dropdowns are supportedValidation is handled properly — hidden required fields are not submitted, and visible fields are validated correctly Issue:While the custom JS handles visibility and validation well for the video path field, I’ve noticed that the image field (used in the shared container) allows submission even when required and empty.Oddly enough, the video path field is correctly validated. Dialog XML Snippet:xmlCopyEdit<tabjcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured"sling:resourceType="granite/ui/components/coral/foundation/form/select"fieldLabel="Sel

I can't find any installation instructions for Hotfix for GRANITE-61551.  Does it get deployed on both publish and author instances?  Also, no documentation for AEM 6.5 SITES Hotfix on SP23 SITES-33973.  I assume it needs to be deployed as well on a SP23 instance since the GRANITE-61551 hotfix does not appear to include 33973.

I followed the below AEM Doc to create a RTE Style Plugin. I am able to add multiple classes to the selected text. I am able to select more than one option at the same time from the style dropdown. Is there a way that can make styles plugin to not select more than one stye for any selected text? https://experienceleague.adobe.com/en/docs/experience-manager-cloud-service/content/implementing/configuring-and-extending/configure-rich-text-editor-plug-ins#:~:text=Specify%20the%20available%20Styles%20in%20the%20pop%2Dup%20list

Hi All, AEM as cloud dispatcher filter section has the below configuration to block any metadata calls on assets. Example path /content/dam/image/test.png.1.json /0017 { /type "deny" /selectors '(feed|rss|pages|languages|blueprint|infinity|tidy|sysview|docview|query|[0-9-]+|jcr:content)' /extension '(json|xml|html|feed)' }But this does not block the path /content/dam/image/test.png/.1.json(a '/' post the actual asset path and then the selector and extension), and returns the metadata information. This is leaking the metadata information of the asset. How this path can be blocked? 

I need to increase the size of the AEM dialog. Even on full screen mode the fields are still small. I have used some nested multifields that make the fields look very long and small. Is there a way I can change the size of the AEM dialog on load for the required component ? Also, I was trying to change the default CSS of dialog. Is it the right was ?

I am dealing with unclosed resource resolver warnings and working on solutions to fix this. In the process I came across this article - https://experienceleague.adobe.com/en/docs/experience-cloud-kcs/kbarticles/ka-23761#This article offers the following workaround:The solution seems to close the resource resolver from just one resource instead of "iterating" over the iterator.For eg://workaround: close internal resource resolver(s)Iterator< Resource> resources = result.getResources(); while (resources.hasNext()) { Resource resource = resources.next(); resource.getResourceResolver().close(); }Appreciate your suggestions!!PS: Tried to use the "suggest an edit" option on that page and got a 404.

Hi, Some time back I posted a question here about "ZIP file referencing not showing in metadata reference links"... We did not locate what the cause was for the ZIP files not showing that they are referenced in the webpages. Lately I was auditing thousands of docx and pdf files. I used Renovator to export the lists of files from the folders. Then in the CSV sheet filtered out the files that has no references. I cross checked a few randomly picked files in the DAM to make sure they have have no reference links in the asset properties. However, with the help of a few users we found out that many files that were reported as not referenced in the webpages, were actually referenced. I confirmed the files were added to the webpages correctly using asset pick tool. Tested it myself. The reference links in the asset properties did not show up! The documents in the webpage are added in the Accordion component. Can components influence this behaviour?I am out of ideas what ma

Hi All, I was hoping to understand the reason for these errors in logs on page load in PROD (page loads perfectly fine on Browser) while the case is i dont see any error on trying to replicate the same in local. 17.01.2025 14:44:07.615 *ERROR* [66.249.77.69 [1737125047613] GET /content/sample/page/us/en/about.html HTTP/1.1] org.apache.jsp.libs.cq.Page.Page__002e__jsp resource has no content. path=/content/sample/page/us/en/about.html referrer=null 17.01.2025 15:36:28.122 *ERROR* [213.230.114.72 [1737128187960] GET /content/sample2/page/sg/en/capacity/solutions.html HTTP/1.1] com.adobe.acs.commons.errorpagehandler.impl.ErrorPageHandlerImpl Exception swallowed while including error page java.lang.NullPointerException: null I tried to check within page.jsp file and Error Page Handler in ACS commons also the associated templates for any broken content but all seems to be fine.Is this something i need to be concerned over the time as the pages are loading fine currently?

Hi Team,How can we display gated content (visible only after the user logs in) through the Dispatcher? Example: I want to display a specific course to users after they log in to the website. Thanks in advance, Syed Shaik. 

Hi All,   I have a use case for executing sling jobs only on one of the publish instance (I want this to run only once). But it looks like the job is getting completed on all the publish instances, i.e., twice.   In Sling Job I do not see an option for running it on CLUSTER like how we have in Scheduler.   Any pointers?   @Component( immediate = true, service = JobConsumer.class, property = { JobConsumer.PROPERTY_TOPICS + "=aem/something" })@Designate(ocd = ReportGenerationConfig.class)public class ReportGenerationJobConsumer implements JobConsumer { // Some code}   Thanks, Asutosh

I’m still unclear why AEM requires separate content fragments for each language or locale. This setup creates a significant maintenance burden for authors. Wouldn’t it be more efficient to have a single fragment with language variations organized as tabs?Currently, we have over 500,000 fragments, and managing them across multiple languages is extremely challenging:If an author moves a fragment, they must manually replicate that move across all language versions.If a shared field is updated, it has to be manually changed 12 times—once for each language.If a fragment needs to be unpublished, the author must do it manually for all 12 language versions.If they decide to delete it, they will have to do it 12 times.We can do some kind of automation. But I feel AEM should take care of it or find a better way.This process is not only time-consuming but also error-prone. I strongly believe AEM should invest in a more scalable and author-friendly solution to streamline multilingual content manag

Hello, I am trying to implement a functionality on our HTML5 forms, where i provide a Import button through the profile (jsp). This Import would look for a partially prefilled PDF, once imported, it should prefill the opened HTML5 form. In case prefilling an already opened HTML5 form is not an option, i am still fine to reload the HTML5 form with data prefilled. So far, i have tried, importing the PDF, the extracted XML structure from PDF is not complete, its missing some tags or probably when AEM converts an XDP to HTML5, the element names are different from XDP field names (?). But overall thats what i am trying, any better approaches or thoughts will be really helpful. Thanks again,Abhishek

Hi All, I am working on a use case where I need to form the path of the work item instance path and share it on the email, so that the user can just click on the workitem path and go to the workitem path directly. But I am not able to form the correct path. I tried using the workitem.getId(), but received a temporary path with VolatileNode in it which does not exist in AEM repository. Any leads to correctly get the workinstance path ?

 Hi everyone,I’m trying to activate DAM assets programmatically through a Groovy script in, but the code doesn’t seem to trigger replication as expected. It runs without errors, but the assets remain unpublished. import com.day.cq.replication.Replicatorimport com.day.cq.replication.ReplicationActionTypeimport javax.jcr.Sessiondef replicator = getService(Replicator)def session = session as Sessiondef paths = ["/content/dam/example-folder/image1.jpg","/content/dam/example-folder/image2.jpg"]paths.each { path ->try {replicator.replicate(session, ReplicationActionType.ACTIVATE, path)println "Activated: ${path}"} catch (Exception e) {println "Error activating ${path}: ${e.message}"}} I can see the logs printing Activated: path, but the assets don’t show up as published in AEM.Has anyone faced this issue or know what might be missing here?Thanks in advance for your help!

 I created a custom translator connector based off of the base AEM translator connector project found here: https://github.com/Adobe-Marketing-Cloud/aem-translation-framework-bootstrap-connectorThe translation service is successfully registered and created, the "translateArray" function is called when the job is run, and the content is translated correctly. However, no other methods in my translation service are called except for "isDirectionSupported".  I've gone through the flow several times, with both the default project and the project with my updates, and neither shows any logs from any other function in this class.  I am currently trying to integrate our translation memory, but noticed that nothing else outside of this scope is working.The question is, is there a special configuration that needs to be applied to activate different parts of the custom translation service connector? The factory that creates the service class implements TranslationServiceFa
